10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury—

how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!

10 Delight is not seemly for a fool;

Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

10 It isn’t right for a fool to live in luxury

or for a slave to rule over princes!

10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool,

Much less for a servant to rule over princes.

10 A fool should not live in luxury.

A slave should not rule over princes.

10 Delicate living is not seemly for a fool;

Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

10 Good living beseemeth not a fool; how much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

10 Luxury does not fit a fool, 

much less a slave ruling princes. 

10 Luxury is not appropriate for a fool —

how much less for a slave to rule over princes!

10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury,

much less for a slave to rule over princes.

10 For a fool living in luxury is not fitting,

any more than it is for a slave to rule over princes.

10 It isn’t proper for a foolish person to live in great comfort.

And it is much worse when a slave rules over princes!

10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool;

Much less for a slave to rule over princes.
